Jimmy Fallon's "Thank You Notes" to Be Published

Jimmy Fallon's popular thank-you notes will be published in two new books, NBC Universal and Grand Central Publishing announced Monday.

The two books, both titled Thank You Notes, will pull from Fallon's Late Night segment of the same name, which airs every Friday. The books will feature more than 150 of Fallon's notes, giving gratitude to everybody and everything from his dad to sweater vests. The books will also include a special foreword from Fallon himself.

"We are thrilled to publish the first book to come out of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and what a better way to start than with Jimmy's hilarious, beloved 'Thank You Notes,'" Grand Central Publishing senior editor Ben Greenberg said in a statement.

The first Thank You Notes book will hit shelves May 23.

P.S. On a side note, I got to be part of Jimmy's live studio audience for the taping of his 100th episode of Late Night back in August 2009. It was a lot of fun and Tracy Morgan was the guest. The Roots were fantastic and Jimmy's staff members really went out of their way to help us when we were late arriving due to our bus being stuck in traffic.
